![]() So at the end of a chilly March, in a CVS in Northampton, MA, I scored Fuchsia Flash for something like $5. ![]() The Vivids were shiny instead of matte, but since I wasn’t as passionate about mattes as I am today, I figured that the finish couldn’t make that much difference. Of the eight Vivids, Fuchsia Flash may have caused the greatest online buzz, as many bloggers swore up and down that it was a perfect color match for Candy Yum-Yum. So it wasn’t until the spring of 2013, when MAC made Candy Yum-Yum permanent, that I began to have serious thoughts about buying it.īut that was also the season when Maybelline released its Vivids line of brightly colored lipsticks. I also dislike buying limited-edition products, for fear that I’ll fall in love with them and think melancholy thoughts about the transience of earthly things every time I use them. I’d never had a chance to swatch the lipstick in person, and I felt wary about ordering such a loud color sight unseen. ![]() ![]() MAC resurrected it briefly in August 2012, but once again, I hesitated too long and missed my chance. So I missed out on Candy Yum-Yum the first time around. A wide-eyed novice in the world of makeup geekery, I didn’t understand that I couldn’t just order a limited-edition lipstick from the MAC website a whole entire week after the collection launched.
